Timely Hitting Powers the Tigers over Delaware for Third Straight Win

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team's timely hitting took down Delaware 7-2 Friday evening in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play at Bob Hannah Stadium in Newark, Delaware.
 
Delaware (24-26, 13-12 CAA) got on the board in the second inning on a two-run home run. Towson (17-34, 5-20 CAA) cut the deficit to one courtesy of Casey Bishop's solo home run to left field. The Tigers posted four runs on five hits in the seventh, highlighted by John Cristino's towering two-run home run and Casey Bishop's triple to left center field. Towson got two more in the eighth on back-to-back doubles and a single to make it 7-2. With the Blue Hens unable to convert the runs to match, the Tigers won by a 7-2 final.
